"I didn't want to mention this to you, for fear of causing you to be irritated." Shen Yi sighed, rolled up his sleeves and sat down beside Gu Yun without care. "At that time, I did not see any one from the Ministry of War coming to withdraw the Drumming Order, perhaps they were already intercepted as soon as they set foot outside the capital. Those numerous small countries in the Southern Sea resembling pieces of goat's feces took this opportunity for their own gain, there was no telling how they managed to discover the secret passages left behind by the bandits, they fell right out of the sky during the night. I was caught off guard, letting them explode the supply storage."

Without the Drumming Order, Shen Yi, the newcomer commander, could not mobilize the garrison in the Southern Frontier at all.

"I completely had my hands full on that side, suppressing one problem, another one came up. Coincidentally, Xiao Ge also came to find me and brought along a letter from His Highness. At that time, as soon as I read it, I already knew it was bad, unfortunately, I could not clone myself."

Shen Yi shook his head. "Later, the wooden bird sent the Black Tiger Emblem and the Feng Huo Order issued by yourself personally. Although I did not expect that the capital city would be besieged to this point, I still managed to divide half of the men and Ziliujin in stock and personally led the troops back."

The rest of the words, he did not need to elaborate, Gu Yun also understood after hearing this, the problem was Ziliujin.

The Northwest was entangled by tigers and wolves, the Black Iron Camp and the Northern Defense Army did not dare to move, otherwise not mentioning whether they could defend the country or not, if they were to be slightly careless, they would easily be surrounded and pursued. At that time, the capital would truly face the Western Navy in the South, and the iron armors of the Wolf Tribes in the North.

The trouble from Shen Yi's Southwestern side could be easily resolved. The true problem was Ziliujin, the stocks of the garrison in the Southern Frontier were already very limited, the remaining amount was not enough to support long-term raids.

"I had to go North first to find General Cai for food," Shen Yi sighed, "Who would have expected that on the way there, I would be hindered repeatedly? Do you know who is holding the Central Plains Garrison back?"

Gu Yun's expression turned grave.
